I am not looking forward to 1st November. The Guarantee money back program I think it's just another way that bad buyers can get money from sellers without even returning the item. If only Ebay could be a fair playing field. It's so one-sided for buyers at the moment.

What can we do to protect ourselves from this?

It stands to reason - NOT THAT EBAY HAVE ANY OF THAT - a buyer putting a claim forward for an item not as described should be responsible for the description, photos & all pertinent eveidence the item received is not the item purchased.

As it says in the 'new garbage' if a red T-shirt was purchased and a green T-shirt sent the buyer should be able to produce evidence such as a photo of the green said T with the very same logo or whatever - if they could that is.

With the item sent what possible evidence can a seller produce to say a red one was sent - even photographing a red one packed does not mean it went to that buyer.

Like to get this one tested legally (& think I will) how eBay can decide a buyer not 'fraudulent' & a seller at fault when the onus is totally on the seller - TO PROVE WHAT EXACTLY.

From where I stand I think they (eBay) are going to have a few Australian legal problems with this whole scenario.

The whole problem with the legality of 'things' IS most find the law too expensive to pursue.

I don't - it is like everything else - do your homework before - and I mean homework - not much left to do to charge for.

First Hand.
